In depth

Verdict

Madkhal had Ranaan, Upper Class and Rich And Famous behind when attempting to make all over the track and trip last month and was only caught inside the final furlong. However, Ranaan was going on strongly at the finish and can reverse the form though the quartet have it all to do with MIQYAAS on a line through Shanty Star. The lightly-raced seven-year-old was beaten less than two lengths by the latter on his return from a long break last month and didn't look suited by Jebel Ali six days later. Hawa Bilady is better over an extra furlong.
